## Abstract

A user equipment (“UE”) described herein may use automated techniques to receive one or more mode triggers, each including one or more sensor profiles. The UE may monitor data from one or more sensors associated with the UE and may compare the data to the profiles. The UE may determine that the sensor data matches a profile; and may disable one or more wireless features. The UE may continue to monitor sensor data and may determine that an exit trigger condition has been satisfied based on the received data. The exit trigger condition may specify a particular mode trigger; and a set of exit sensor profiles that corresponds to an exit of the particular mode trigger. The UE may, based on determining that the exit trigger condition has been satisfied, activate one or more wireless features. The sensor profiles and/or exit trigger conditions may be received from a cloud-based entity.
